I am pondering how to approach a mending project where I only have access to one side of the fabric. Our dining room chair cushions are covered with T-shirt material (itself a mending project from 10+ years ago). One of them has finally gotten a hole, and I don't want to disassemble the whole seat. I was thinking of trying some ring-free embroidery or sashiko, but I will likely end up stabbing through cushion along with fabric. 🤔

In the fashion space, there's a big move toward "visible mending." In ceramics, there's #kintsugi.

Kona has done it again. She grabbed my gray fuzzy before I could hang it up and chewed two holes in before I could grab it back from her. (She's fast!) Used a chain stitch in a spiral with hemp yarn to fill the void. One down, one to go!

A gray fleece folded so you can see the two holes that Kona, a cat, has chewed in it. The bottom one is partially mended with a pale green hemp yarn being sewed in spiral in chainstitch.

And there's the second hole mended. It came out so much better that I'm tempted to rip out the first one and re-do it. But nah.

I can’t fix much but I can fix my husband’s slipper.

A Caucasian woman’s hand is holding an L.L. Bean suede slipper in chocolate brown. Just under the stitching line attaching the shoe top to the sides there is a triangular puncture and tear where the suede has been ripped.

The same slipper now has a sweet little woven pink heart outlined in purple chai stitch covering the tear. There’s also a wad of felt inside the shoe but I’m not gonna show you that because it looks messy af.

A photograph of a woman’s hand holding the waistband of a pair of grey canvas pants. The buttonhole has ripped vertically and is all frayed.

The buttonhole is repaired with a woven darn in two shades of teal, creating new fabric where the fabric tore. The buttonhole itself has also been stitched over with buttonhole stitch to reinforce it.

Most hashtags are pretty obvious, you just put # in front of a topic. For example if a post is about coffee it might have the tag #Coffee

However, many popular hashtags have difficult-to-guess names, so I've started a list to help people discover them:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/fun-and-useful-hashtags-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-wider-fediverse

Copy-paste a hashtag into the search box in Mastodon if you want to browse or follow it.

If you have suggestions for non-obvious hashtags that should be added to the list, let me know in the replies 🙂

I'm glad I took enough time to baste the little square patches on, because I was absolutely out of effort by the time I got to last of the sewing. 😆 The blanket stitch took way too long, and eventually I just whipstitched the rest on. Good enough, structural integrity returned.

#VisibleMending

Two photos side by side of two square patches of a flower fabric very neatly set onto a repaired bit of cotton sateen. The squares are flipped on an angle, becoming diamonds, and are following the geometric leaf pattern of the pink sateen. The colours are harmonising, with a bit of variation in the variegated embroidery thread used. It's very simple, but looks nice enough. Sini's pink fingers and short, filed round and shiny natural nails in frame.

@sinituulia@eldritch.cafe · last month

I've done one of four patches and somehow it's taking absolutely forever. And on a day when I don't have patience for something to take forever? And this is the simplest possible patch, even. Suboptimal.
Taking a break, then doing another one I guess.

I think, that for my emotional wellbeing, I'm going to try mending this very old pillowcase for a little bit, instead of tackling the mountain of other things I should be doing. It's one of my favourites and that's why it's falling apart, but I figure it could become a cute decorative pillow, now. I also have exactly four of these little scrap pieces left over from a quilt!

#VisibleMending

A sort of faded raspberry pink pillowcase, cotton sateen, with small squares of similarly pink toned but much darker pink flower fabric. Both fabrics have a sort of abstract geometric feel to them. There's a rather noticeable three point tear, frayed, on the pillow fabric. Sini's pink fingertips in frame. All of the image is hues of warm, faint pink!
